Design team member Aphra Bolyer used our With Love collection to document the “love notes” her son Ethan sent to his preschool friends this past Valentine’s Day. Here’s what Aphra had to say … “Although these pictures of my son heading off to school with his classmates’ Valentines in hand are a little dark and grainy, I was so grateful that my husband thought to take them for me while I was at work and I still wanted to document this sweet memory. By printing the pictures in wallet size, I was able to minimize their poor quality a little. The small pictures also left a lot of room on my page for me to embellish, so I filled it with three layered, dangling hearts cut from my die cut machine.”

Design team member Mandie Pierce created several fabulous projects using the With Love collection including this heartfelt layout about her husband. Here’s what Mandie had to say … “My husband and I have been together since high school. We met as cashiers at a Kroger store in Georgia. Sometimes I think – would that 17 year old girl have ever thought 15 years later we would be here? I am so very thankful we are.”

And here’s what Mandie had to say about her next project … “When I saw those adorable little envelopes, I knew they would be perfect for some small Valentines! They came together very quickly. I just cut 2 pieces of paper at 3×6 and folded them in half and decorated a bit! I used the With Love stamps to decorate the envelopes.”
